Would it be considered piracy...

"Only thing I can say about the future of copywrite is, god forbid the human race creates another religion in the western world. As god would have to pay some "suit" everytime he came to earth and quoted what he once said or wrote on a tablet."

Actually, this sort of exists already, as churches need to file with the government to get a 501c3 license to be recognized as a legit church. No money involved, but the control factor is still there.
